--NCP MLAs’ merger issue--
BHUBANESWAR:
The supporters and workers of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) gheraoed the
residence of Assembly speaker Pradip Kumar Amat here on Thursday demanding
immediate action on NCP MLAs’ merger with BJD issue.
The NCP supporters staged
demonstration in front of the speaker’s residence flaunting placards bearing
slogans demanding the speaker to take a fair and unbiased decision regarding
the matter. They also demanded that the speaker should show respect to the
Supreme Court and High Court’s order.
During agitation, the police took
the activists into preventive custody while they were trying to enter to the
residence.
According to NCP leader Srikant
Samantray, we have filed contempt of court case against the speaker. “Being a
speaker, working for the party purpose is unfortunate,” said Samantaray,
adding, “Amat should resign from his post on the moral ground.”
The Supreme Court on Wednesday
had set aside the review petition of Amat regarding the controversial merger of
the four NCP MLAs.
